Tomorrow is the big day!

So the big day is finally here. Tomorrow morning I will have my RNY at Rex Hospital in Raleigh NC.
I am nervous,excited, and at times weirdly calm about it all.

Yesterday I went in for my preadmission testing and everyone was so nice.
I had a totally hawt bear take my blood. No one can ever get me on the first stick and he totally did.
I think my veins thought be was hot too and just gave it up... lol

I will update when I get home sometime over the weekend.

Thank you to everyone here for helping me get to this point.

Dante, I am so proud of you. You put your mind to it and you've taken yourself to the doorway, ready to walk through.

I know what you mean about weirdly calm. I was the same way. The only time I got nervous was when I laid down on the table I had a moment of WTF! but then I was waking up in recovery and it was all good!

Know that you are in my thoughts and prays... candle lit, sending you good healing. I'm also sending good thoughts to your beautiful girl as she stands by you!

And we here are all pushing over, making room for you on the losers bench!

5/6/09... not a bad birthday!

I can't believe your day has come so fast! Good luck I will say a prayer for uneventful surgery. I was very calm until THEY GOT ME ON THE TABLE AND LIKE Raven said next thing I knew I was waking up in recovery!
